regional landmark
Area's notable site
A regional landmark is a notable feature—natural or built—that defines or symbolizes a particular area.
Unlike national landmarks, regional landmarks hold significance for a specific locality: The old water tower serves as a regional landmark for travelers entering the valley.
Such landmarks often appear on local maps and function as reference points for giving directions.
